Although several medical organizations predict that the Canadian healthcare landscape will undergo a significant shift resulting from increased use of social media by Canadian healthcare practitioners, little research exists in Canada about how and why Canadian physicians use social media. To address this research gap and establish a baseline for future Canadian research, this paper sought to examine how Canadian physicians perceive Twitter in relation to healthcare. By conducting interviews with 18 Canadian physicians of varying specialties and backgrounds from British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, this exploratory study has provided qualitative data that will aid an important and growing area of health communications research. ©Journal of Professional Communication, all rights reserved.

Perkembangan lagu anak di Indonesia mengalami dinamika yang berbeda dari tahun ke tahun. Era 90-an merupakan puncak dimana lagu anak mendapat perhatian yang lebih dari masyarakat Indonesia. Namun kondisi tersebut berbeda dengan keadaan lagu anak sekarang. Sudah tidak banyak lagi penyanyi-penyanyi cilik yang tampil di televisi dan berkurangnya lagu-lagu yang sesuai untuk anak yang kaya akan pesan pendidikan dan nasionalis. Hal ini dikarenakan sudah tidak banyak label rekaman yang memberikan wadah bagi penyanyi cilik dan adanya anggapan bahwa lagu anak kurang laku. Objek penelitian ini adalah album penyanyi cilik Naura dengan topik strategi promosi dan sosialisasi lagu anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji strategi bauran promosi album penyanyi cilik Naura dan mengetahui tanggapan masyarakat terhadap album penyanyi cilik Naura. Pendekatan yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan data tambahan sebagai pelengkap dari data kuantitatif berupa pemaparan presentase. Data kualitatif didapat dari 3 orang narasumber dan data kualitatif diperoleh dari 34 responden yang merupakan followers Instagram Naura. Hasil yang diperoleh, manajemen Naura menggunakan semua alat bauran promosi, meliputi periklanan, promosi penjualan, publisitas, penjualan perseorangan dan pemasaran langsung. Sedangkan alat promosi utama yang digunakan adalah pemasaran langsung yang difokuskan pada penggunaan media sosial. Hal ini disebabkan karena mayoritas peggemar Naura adalah anak-anak dan remaja yang memiliki akun media sosial. The development of children's songs in Indonesia experienced different dynamics from year to year. The 90's is the peak where the children's song gets more attention from the people of Indonesia. But the condition is different from the state of the child's song now. There are not many singers-singers who appear on television and reduced the appropriate songs for children who are rich in educational and nationalist messages. This is because there are not many record labels that provide a container for the little singers and the assumption that the child's song is less salable.The object of this research is Naura little singer album with the topic of promotion strategy and socialization of children song. This study aims to examine the promotion mix strategy of Naura's little singer album and to know the public response to Naura's little singer album.

This MRP analyzes the use of social media in selling high-end cosmetics. As social media continues to evolve, luxury cosmetics companies like Nudestix are using social media platforms like YouTube to create brand awareness. This paper uses a textual and visual content analysis of six YouTube videos to analyze how how-to and instructional videos may be used to market and promote lesser known, indie cosmetics brands. Research on marketing, in addition to other research articles, is used to explain the importance of brand stores, seed and word of mouth marketing campaigns. This research study uses qualitative data collected from the YouTube video sample to provide insights for indie cosmetics brands looking to grow their indie cosmetics brand using beauty influencers and how vlogs can create brand recognition.

Social media is becoming a valuable resource for hosting activism as illustrated in the rise of the hashtag movements, such as #MeToo and #Endrapeculture, used to speak out against rape culture. In this article, we discuss the use of social media as the source and object of research, using the case of the 2016 South African #nakedprotest. We used naturalistic observation on Facebook comment threads and followed these up with online Facebook focus groups. Qualitative content analysis and thematic decomposition analysis were used, respectively, to explore online discourses of rape culture. We found that the use of social media as a medium for data collection is valuable for exploring trending social issues such as the rape culture #nakedprotest. We uncovered that social media offers researchers the opportunity to collect, analyze, and triangulate rich qualitative data for the exploration of social phenomena. This study illustrates the usefulness of social media as a pedagogical instrument.

On 22 July 2011, a lone wolf terrorist attacked Norway. At the island of Utøya, he killed 69 people. This article asks how the youth at the camp on the island used social media (SoMe) in the emergency situation caused by the terrorist. Answers could give significant contribution to the growing research on SoMe and crisis, especially since there is a research gap when it comes to examine terror victims’ use of SoMe. This study is based on qualitative interviews with eight survivors. Based on the campers’experiences, how do they evaluate the opportunities and challenges of SoMe during a terrorist attack? What were the reasons for not using SoMe? What was the purpose of using SoMe during the attack? SoMe play an essential role in crisis communication strategies as well as being an increasingly important tool for the public. Although verification of SoMe content is difficult, SoMe have become important sources for journalists. This study offers best practices for journalists from victims. Moreover, it sheds light on how SoMe played a role for the victims in alerting, giving and receiving information, as well as building hope and resilience.

The role of social media has been studied extensively within a series of national political contexts. However, only few studies have focused on the uses of social media by local or regional politicians. This exploratory study presents results from a survey regarding the professional communication habits of Norwegian local and regional politicians. The main results indicate that while services like Facebook and Twitter have gained considerable popularity among politicians, the bulk of respondents find traditional channels of communication more important. Moreover, while the respondents largely acknowledge the interactive potential of novel services, considerable differences concerning use and adoption can be found among the politicians.
